choose an experience instead of an object — and give a gift that will be remembered.

🎄 Looking for a Christmas gift that truly lasts? Give an experience.

Every year, Christmas comes around and we ask ourselves,
“What should I give this time?”
And before we know it, we choose perfume, candles, or another item that quietly ends up on a shelf.

But what if this year,
you could give a memory instead of a thing?

Sushi Yoko gift vouchers offer something special:
time spent together, shared smiles, and moments that stay in your heart long after Christmas is over.


🍣 Sushi Classes

Our sushi classes are designed so that even beginners can join with confidence.

  • 3.5-hour Sushi Rolling Class
    Learn the basics of sushi-making and practice rolling sushi yourself.
  • 5-hour Special Sushi Class
    A deeper experience for those who want to explore the world of sushi in more detail.

🍜 Japanese Cuisine Class (4 hours)

This class focuses on popular Japanese home-style dishes such as
ramen and okonomiyaki.
You will learn practical recipes that are easy to recreate at home while gaining a solid foundation in Japanese cuisine.


🍵 Matcha & Mochi Class (2 hours)

Step away from everyday busyness and enjoy a calm, mindful experience.
Prepare matcha, taste traditional mochi, and spend two relaxing hours reconnecting with yourself and Japanese culture.


🍱 Japanese Cuisine Master Class

We also offer a Japanese Cuisine Master Class, where you can learn Japanese cuisine comprehensively over four lessons.

Across four sessions, you will cover sushi, Japanese cuisine (ramen and okonomiyaki), and matcha & mochi, learning each topic step by step from the basics.

This course is ideal for anyone who wants to study Japanese cuisine in a structured and well-balanced way, gradually building skills and confidence while experiencing the richness of Japanese food culture.

Mochi & Matcha Class – Tuesday Evening

Our Tuesday evening class was a wonderful success! We began with a fun quiz about matcha and the tea ceremony, followed by making delicious mochi. After that, I offered a tea ceremony demonstration, and everyone had the chance to whisk their own matcha. Finally, we ended the evening with Mindfulness Meditation for Stress Reduction, creating a calm and refreshing close to the class.

Many thanks to everyone who joined—your smiles made the evening truly special.
